No,they should just give out Sleeper Suits like VS

Weatherboy

I can't see CO ever giving out Sleeper Suits as part of their Business First product.

If they roll out a new premium transoceanic 1st class product for the 787 (which they steadfast say will never happen), perhaps the pajamas will come out. But 'till then, I can't imagine CO invest in onboard "wardrobe" when they keep trimming back their eye shade budget.

Though WN is too polite to officially say it, word is that she had one item of clothing missing on the flight that she made sure to add for her Today Show appearance.

[QUOTE=MBM3;8397230]how sad "appropriate clothing" has become when travelling (or even in public). Call me old fashioned, but I long for the days when people dressed up to fly. It is almost embarassing to see what comes on board these days! Dirty, smelly, revealing, too tight, too loose.... does anyone look in the mirror before they leave the house? Back to the point, I think Southwest needs to be very careful with this issue as it could open a door that can not be closed once opened. What is next? A guy with his big gut hanging out? A guy wearing both a hair shirt and tank top? An overweight woman in spandex?[QUOTE]

Hear, hear!

I would gladly switch my business to a carrier who enforces a dress code and bans children in F. While coach service and WN have morphed into an airborne facsimile of Greyhound, the integrity and sanctity of the F cabin has similarly degenerated.

Elites on such an airline would begin to behave satrorially, in anticipation of upgrades which could be summarily yanked from fashion victims.

So what would be acceptable.

Yesterday I went ATL-IAH-AUS in khakis, brooks brothers shirt, blazer, are SAS leather shoes.

Last week I was MRing in off-white cargo shorts, a tee-shirt with my college plastered on it, and strap-on leather sandals.

Now neither get-up was putting my junk(TM) on display, but is it only ok ride up front if I look like I just closed a deal or can I look like the young guy that I am?

I think as long as you're within a threshold of "neat", "clean" and "non-offensive" you're fine.

I think the worst thing I've ever worn on an airplane was a wet bathing suit. At the time, Aloha Airlines offered a 7day interisland pass: for some ridiculously low sum of money (like $175?) you could fly as much as you want throughout the islands without any restrictions. And best yet, you could book confirmed seats (although no seat assignments) beforehand... so there was no need to "standby" through the 7-day flying fiasco. I went from Maui to Kauai to swim at Barking Sands beach ...only to fly over to Hilo to hang out at a beach for the second half of that day. I was having a little too much good of a time and lost track of the time.... so not having enough time to change or even dry off, I hopped back in my rental car and raced to the airport. I was still covered in sand and had a wet bathing suit and t-shirt on (along with sneakers)... so I just put the towel in my seat and sat in it for the hop to Lihue to Honolulu to Hilo. (And while I did leave behind a trail of sand wherever I walked, my seat did stay dry... so I didn't leave a wet seat behind for the next traveler.)

CO 1E

I don't know that a business casual dress code would be appropriate in BF simply because it is not terribly comfortable (at least for me) to sleep or lounge about in a startched shirt and wool slacks. I almost always wear jeans when flying longhaul, unless I have some business to attend to after the flight. In sum, I think it would be difficult to impose a dress code in BF other than to prohibit skimpy outfits such as the one in question on WN or the speedo and t-shirt outfit another poster described.

CO 1E

On a related note, I was in Acela First Class yesterday and everyone in first class (myself included) was wearing a suit. That did not stop one well-dressed woman from putting her bare feet on the footrest and seat in front of her, however.

What are you saying? That's out now?? Dammit!

colpuck

If you're in atlanta that look is very in.

notsosmart

Over on Mulberry it's actually authentic...

notsosmart

Uhm... satrorially? Methinks that spelling sense is somewhat related to fashion sense... and good taste...

ijgordon

OK, bringing this back to Continental Airlines...

I thought I'd point out (I don't think it's been mentioned yet), that CO's Contract of Carriage does allow refusal to transport for inappropriate dress. Rule 21, Section H:
Safety � Whenever refusal or removal of a Passenger may be necessary for the safety of such Passenger or other Passengers or members of the crew, including, but not limited to:
...
5) Persons who are barefoot or not properly clothed;

And then I'd point out that AA goes a step or two further:

(Acceptance of Passengers)
American may refuse to transport you, or may remove you from your flight at any point, for one or several reasons, including but not limited to the following:
6. Your conduct is disorderly, abusive or violent, or you
e. Have an offensive odor not caused by a disability or illness,
f. Are clothed in a manner that would cause discomfort or offense to other passengers,

A couple of weeks ago at LAS, I heard the GAs discreetly (I have good hearing, what can I say) ask a young man to change his shirt; which he did. I'm not sure what the offending shirt said, but saw his mother throw a shirt at him which he quickly put on.

>>> had to blurr out the crotchal area as apparently her dress>>>
I dont think thats how Larry Flynt would have reported it.
